'He's Disabled,' the Caregiver Screamed. 'I'm With Her,' Eyad Cried. The Cop Opened Fire Anyway
The 32-year-old autistic Palestinian lay wounded and terrified on the ground while his caregiver, standing nearby, tried to explain to Israeli policemen that he had a disability and pleaded for his life. To no avail: He was shot dead within minutes
Each time you guys tell the story,
he acted and said something entirely different.
Can't you already decide on a script?
Seems a bit heavy handed for dealing with a 32 yr old autistic man who's barely able to function.. Especially IF his caregiver is there to plead with them at the scene.. But sending him ALONE some days was even more dangerous because it built up anxieties that the man could not control...
Hard to use this extreme example tho as an example of Israeli "oppression" tho.. Because of the special circumstances here and the nature of 2nd guessing police actions..
How many Arab dialects are present there? Are the IDF police completely fluent in every one?????
That's what I've said when initially hearing the story - it's unfortunate if it's like they tell.
But since then each time they tell it's completely different, from not having the ability to speak at all, to all of a sudden screaming "Justice to Floyd" and "Freedom to proletariat", from walking alone with a phone in his hand and then running, to throwing garbage in full CDC outfit, to developing a dialogue about Sheakspear with his caregiver, while performing a heart surgery on passing by children on his way to school.
From day one they've been trying different versions looking for one to exploit the riots.
The current synagogues looting in US is no more than an attempt to rouse rabble and grab media attention and stir the discourse as to serve their agenda.
So how much empathy can I have for incitement to pogroms?
There're 4 Arabic dialects in Israel - Egyptian, Bedouin, Syrian and Saudi.
Guys in the Magav are usually taken from Arabic-speaking families, or have enough basic knowledge of the language. They're the Mustaaravim who work undercover infiltrating the gangs and managing collaborators.
So is it possible that those checkpoints have a high number of police with Arabic deficiencies? Maybe under pressure not understanding what the care-giver was saying?
I'm usually ignoring the demands of the radicals myself and more focused on solving the SYSTEMIC problems that are BORING to radicals.,. Generally radicals and hot heads have little care for how things ACTUALLY work and are more interested in marching chants and slogans...
But FIXING fundamental problems is what reduces these incidents..
There was no checkpoint and it has nothing to do with Arabic.
It was a 30-something y.o. man suspected of carrying a firearm,
instead of responding to orders started running in a crowded street.
The caregiver was not with him,
and neither look Arab.
Then how does H'Aaretz get it so wrong? Obviously she was taken into custody at the scene.. And interrogated.. What makes you say she was not there??
Suddenly the area was filled with Border Police, among them an officer who aimed her weapon at Abu Hadid’s head, ordering her to stand still while she subjected her to a body search. The caregiver, whose ward had just been killed before her eyes, was utterly distraught. She was then taken to the police position next to Lions Gate, stripped almost naked in a search for the nonexistent firearm, and then interrogated for three hours.
The officers wanted to know about Hallaq and the institution he attended. They then informed Abu Hadid that she would be taken for questioning to the notorious room No. 4 in the police station in the Russian Compound, in downtown Jerusalem. She balked, telling the police that she first had to call her director, which they allowed her to do.
Journalism is THAT bad in Israel too???
What I read in other sources said the suspicion was raised at the checkpoint.. And it was guards manning Lion's Gate that chased him farther into the garbage alley..
Haaretz or al-Ard doesn't 'get it wrong' - they intentionally deceive.
They've already released conflicting versions.
I already said - there're now about five.
From what I've gathered, the suspicion was raised by a communication from the station,
alarming the guards at the gate about a suspect armed militant in the area. Immediately after that in the distance appeared a man seeming holding a firearm. He was demanded to stop, started running, got a bullet injuring his leg and hid in a garbage alley. When the guard found him, he saw him reaching into his pants and neutralized. His caregiver was at the time in a storage room across the street.
This is at least what I've gathered from sources quoting statements of authority,
and legal representatives of the case. Seems all the basic evidence was already brought up before the authorities - the main point being now not the version of order of developments,
rather was the order to cease fire indeed given and in what interval before the critical shot.
Journalism in Israel is like anywhere else - that's why I rely more on a specific portal that archives all relevant media updates and available documents in one place for cross reference.
Self defense against the media is gonna be a vital 21st century skill.. Maybe we should start a forum on tips on how to analyze and verify "news"...
Had some great Silicon Valley friends that left the USSR.. They'd talk about the favorite past time in the Soviet Union -- which was "interpreting the State news"... They had lots of fun decoding the stories...
